Musical Shakers Matching Sounds

Activity By : Nurseriesandschools.org
What Will You Need?

Recycled, clear plastic bottles or containers with a selection of objects inside e.g. rice, pasta, milk bottle tops, buttons or dried peas.

Implementation

Allow the children to examine the shakers looking at what is inside them and what noise they make when you shake them. You could pass them around to let them listen to all the different sounds. You should talk about the sounds, naming the object that is inside.

Extend this activity :

Place a second set of the shakers in front of a screen whilst you make a noise behind the screen with a matching one. Take turns explicitly stating whose turn to listen and then ask the children individually to point to the shaker they heard. If they select the incorrect shaker get them to listen again and support them to choose the correct one by pointing whilst shaking (promote success).

The following sessions can include other homemade instruments:

• cake tins

• Ice cream tubs with wooden spoons to bang

• jingly threaded cotton reels

• milk bottle tops

N.B. Be aware of children’s differing skills and limit the number of objects to choose from accordingly
